Men and Women finished 4th at the SEC championships this weekend. The men's team has a legitimate shot(along with Oregon, TAM, Florida, and Arkansas at an NCAA title this year.
While there were many impressive individual performances, the highlight was unquestionably Baton Rouge native Julian Par...

I have a couple of friends from Europe who want to fly in to Los Angeles and fly out of New York 3 or 4 weeks later. They asked me what the best way is to do that and I have no idea. They are only 20 so I would guess renting a car would be an issue.
Anybody have any experience with this? Grey...

This is the worst I've ever seen. Asik played 24 minutes. 24. A guy who wasn't even employed at the beginning of the season played 40.
8 offensive rebounds in 24 minutes against this team of midgets. The same team he absolutely ABUSED 2 weeks ago. Yet you are going to take him out and let us...

Cole is just not that good. You can tell he's never played with AD, so thats understandable that he threw stupid lobs that were defended, plus missed an open one or two. CP3 Rubio etc would all be able to adjust right away, but fair enough, can't expect a top 5 passer..... But the dude just isn't ...

They are now only 5.5 games ahead and are 5 games in(1-4) to the most brutal 21 game stretch in NBA history :lol:
Just got through NO, SA, Brooklyn, CLE, TOR all away and now get
@OKC, @DAL, Hou, SA, Sac, Mem, @HOU, @MEM, @CHI, @MIN, Por, @GS, Minn, @OKC, @DAL, Hou
Meanwhile, Pels have an ...

Nothing dumb about the call. Unlikely interception happened. But wait, Marshawn would have almost surely scored!!!! Well yeh, they also almost surely would have scored throwing the ball 3 times.
The stupid call was throwing into the end zone a few plays before. That was a high percentage chan...

Pondexter is no world-beater but it was obvious this team was underachieving versus the talent. It wasn't a matter of bringing in more talent. It was just shedding whatever was inexplicably killing this team, specifically defensively. It's looking like just not having a 3 was a lot bigger than we...

Why was the personal foul on Seattle's first touchdown drive declined? That would have put it to 2nd and 46 and almost guaranteed that drive not end in points. Did McCarthy seriously screw up that bad and decline it? Or did the refs forget the rule?...

So, here's a hypothetical question. If the game had no offensive component...... Let's say we play NBA teams with the only goal being to minimize their scoring over 100 possessions. Who do you take? Additionally, where do you rank each player in their respective position?
Right now, I'm going As...

Boom, or anyone else who knows...... Where can I find the team off/def rating for when a certain player is on the court...... So like plus/minus but broken down to points scored and allowed per 100 possessions.
Thanks :cheers:
Oh and frick the Rockets :doublebird:...

So I am appalled at how inept the committee is at finding a way to compare an undefeated team to a 1 loss team. So I came up with 2 methods that help illustrate it. The first is for the mathematically challenged.
In order to compare "apples to apples", we need to give Florida State a loss since...

My friends and I were just discussing this hypothetical I came up with. You are given a check for a million dollars. The check is placed 10 feet behind you on the ground. If you can stop JJ Watt from picking it up for 7 seconds without holding or doing anything illegal, you get to keep the millio...

I know it doesn't matter, but why even have this? It brings about even more distrust about pollsters and committees legitimate favoring of SEC teams. Plus, it's just ridiculous that if Virginia does the unthinkable and ends Florida State's 20+ game win streak, they will have not beaten the #1 team...

Boom keeps on posting about the Dwight Effect. It is a study done showing the effect that Dwight has on the game. But Boom makes it seem like it crowns him the best defender in the game. It being named after him doesn't make him an effective defender any more than somebody doing a study they titl...

I just saw a Facebook post by some girl whining about the use of the word retarded. It was one of those stupid charts that set up a piece-wise function in which all scenarios arrived upon the conclusion of "retarded" not being appropriate to use. So apart from the obvious answer that word policing...

1st and 10 for Green Bay with 3:10 left and the clock not running. They end up what would be the next actual play with about 2:13 left. A minute came off because of the screwed up rules of football. Clock started after a pass interference and then restarted after a delay of game.
Absolutely un...

So I mentioned this in another thread, but now I've calculated it out, and I think there is some definite arbitrage on Florida. Before you start dismissing it, hear me out.
Florida controls their own destiny to win the SEC East. If they win out, they will be SEC champions and have beaten Florid...

Moving to Germany for a while. Jena. About an hour southwest of Leipzig. Want to try to prevent myself from getting into soccer by keeping up with American sports and LSU games.
So anybody here live or have lived in Germany? How is the US sports accessibility?...
